“…Ha (2007) [19] pointed out the problem of the displacement and isolation of low-income residents that is the dark underside of increased stock values and enhanced quality of housing following redevelopment. He further argued that the process of gentrification favours landowners based on the principle that markets bring about the decline of the social and cultural capital of cities, and that it is not possible to pursue sustainable urban growth.…”

Abstract:The objective of this study was to map the distribution pattern of gentrification, showing the adverse effect of urban parks. The study adopted the perspective that urban parks, which have thus far been featured in urban planning without much criticism, may actually bring about unintended effects. This study employed a theory of gentrification that has received increasing interest in urban sociology to investigate the other side of the gentrification phenomenon. We identified urban parks as the cause of the gentrification from the start, and verified and visualised the phenomenon in the case of the Gyeongui Line Forest Park. We determined that the area with the higher possibility of gentrification was that within 600 m of the park. Big data accumulated over the past decade were used to prepare a proactive, systematic procedure to address gentrification, which is materialising in diverse forms. Through this study, we contribute to debates on the environmental justice of urban parks. Small changes in urban space can strongly affect our healthy lifestyles and urban sustainability. From this perspective, our study's research process and its results could provide indications of how to structure and manage new urban planning projects in the future.

“…11 Substandard housing areas are usually stable communities, based on kinship and peer group systems with shared origins of common provincial background (Brandt, 1982;. According to the survey in 2003, most of the residents (72.5%) in slums are very close to their neighbors and help each other (Ha, 2006). Table 9 indicates that only 39.3% of residents in the social housing estates are very close to their neighbors and help each other.…”

“…Some experts on community development emphasize the importance of organized low-income communities in securing services and, in many cases, the supporting role of NGOs and CBOs (Arrossi et al, 1994;Carroll, 1992;Choguill, 1996;Evans, 1996;Ha, 2006;Moser, 1998). Carroll (1992) makes a five-fold distinction between NGO purposes: charity, relief, development (subdivided into business development, social development and social business), political action, and advocacy of special interests (which may be combined with other assistance).…”

“…However, Korea has experienced a rapid industrialisation since the 1970s that has resulted in many farmers having moved from rural to urban areas for more profitable jobs. High-rise building blocks of high-income families are typically concentrated in urban business districts in metropolitan cities and high-income residential areas generally surround the commercial centres in the cities (Ha, 2006). This is mainly due to the land costing so much more; shops and businesses counter this by creating tall buildings to provide more area in their shops or homes at a more affordable price.…”

The geographic concentration of chronic sleep deprivation (CSD) remains largely unexplored. This paper examined the community-specific spatial pattern of the prevalence of CSD and the presence of clustered spatial hotspots among the Korean elderly population in Gyeongbuk Province, South Korea, revealing CSD hotspots and underscoring the importance of geography-focused prevention strategies. The study analysed cross-sectional data collected from 9847 elderly individuals aged 60 years and older who participated in a Korean Community Health Survey conducted in 2012. To assess the level of spatial dependence, an exploratory spatial data analysis was conducted using Global Moran's I statistic and the local indicator of spatial association. The results revealed marked geographic variations in CSD prevalence ranging from 33.4 to 73.4%, with higher values in the metropolitan urban areas and lower in the rural areas. Almost half of the community residents [both men (44.1%) and women (53.5%)] slept 6 h or less per 24 h. The average CSD prevalence (53.6% men and 65.1% women) in the hotspots was about 13.0% higher than that in other areas (42.6% for men and 51.1% for women). To our knowledge, this is the first study to generate a CSD hotspot map that includes data on sleep deprivation across metropolitan district levels. This study demonstrates that not only is sleep deprivation distributed differentially across communities but these differences may be explained by urbanisation.
